Advanced Placement (AP), yurt dışında eğitime açılan bir kapıdır. ABD merkezli kâr amacı gütmeyen bir kuruluş olan College Board tarafından sunulur ve lise öğrencilerine üniversite düzeyinde dersler alma ve sınavlarına girme imkânı sağlar.
Advanced Placement, bazı üniversitelerin giriş koşullarını yerine getirmek için kullanılabilirken, bazı üniversitelerde ise kabul için stratejik avantaj sağlar. Advanced Placement lise düzeyindeki öğrencileri ileri kademe eğitime ve üniversitede okumak istedikleri bölüme hazırlar.
Advanced Placement, akademik açıdan zorlu ve ciddi çalışma gerektiren dersler sunar ve AP Ekonomi, AP Psikoloji gibi alana özel dersler ile öğrencilerin üniversite düzeyinde eğitime hazır bulunmalarını sağlar. Lise öğrencilerinin bu derslerdeki başarısı, üniversite kabul komitelerine öğrencilerin üniversite derslerinin zorluğuna ve üniversite düzeyinde akademik çalışma yürütmeye hazır olduklarını gösterir.
Tanınırlığı küresel boyuta ulaşmış olan Advanced Placement (AP) ile öğrencilerin üniversite başvurusu yapabileceği ve/veya AP’nin üniversitelerin kabul koşullarında tamamlayıcı rol oynayan ülke sayısı 68, üniversite ders kredisi talebinde bulunabileceği ülke sayısı 48, burs başvurusunda bulunabileceği ülke sayısı 38‘dir.
